You can make GIFs using ChatGPT — here's how | Tom's Guide

Creating animated GIFs used to require downloading special software or using paid online services. Now ChatGPT offers a simple way to turn your images into moving GIFs with custom effects. All you need to do is upload an image, add a prompt that describes the animation you want, and ChatGPT does the rest. The entire process takes just a few minutes from start to finish. Whether you need a GIF for social media, presentations, or just for fun, this straightforward method works for all kinds of images and animation needs.

Log in to ChatGPT

Next, attach your photo. You can do this by clicking the plus (+) icon and choosing Upload from the computer. All you need to do now is select your chosen image saved to your computer. If you're on mobile, the steps are the same except you'll have the option to attach an image from Photos, Camera, or Files.

Clarify Details and Create

Before generating a GIF with ChatGPT, it’s helpful to clarify the details you want to include to make it personal and engaging. Consider the message or text you’d like to display, the animation style, visual extras, color scheme, loop duration, and overall tone.

Generate and Download

Now that you've attached the image and typed out the prompt, click the arrow button for ChatGPT to generate your GIF. When it's done, you'll see your completed GIF displayed in the chat. Click the download button that appears below it to save the GIF to your device. If you're not happy with the result, you can ask ChatGPT to change specific aspects.

Additional Options

If you don't have an image you want to turn into a GIF, you can also ask ChatGPT to create one for you. This is a great option for creating something truly original.

Once you've got the images created, you might need to go to somewhere like GIPHY.com to turn your frames into a sharable GIF.
